You need to use a good quality water based foam leather cleaner.

DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones. (Most 'conditioners' contain waxes or oils) and furniture polish contains silicones

BABY WIPES are the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather. They are very strong alkiline cleaners to neutralise urine (acid) on babys skin so they are not the right thing to use on leather.

Saddle soap is too harsh to use on todays furniture.

A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will also destroy the finish or leave residues on the leather which will damage it. They are not cheap in the long run as you would need a lot to clean a whole leather sofa. A bottle of foam cleaner should do your furniture 1-2 times.

You should also follow this with a good water based leather protector which will act like a 'scotchgard' and inhibit dirt and stains from being absorbed and make cleaning easier the next time.

Dry leather needs rehydrating with water and oils and waxes should not be used as the natural oils do not dry out of leather. Wiping over with a damp cloth regularly will help to do this.

leather-based can and could be vacuumed robotically using the comfortable brush with a view to no longer scratch. This keeps the customary airborne dirt and mud from settling into the leather-based. there are various grades of leather-based and the grade determines the thank you to bathe it. Saddle soaps are basically for unfinished leathers like baseball mitts, boots or saddles. finished leathers require a various approach. maximum leather-based products bought are semi-aniline. Vacuum as quickly as a week, use a tender (organic Ph) cleansing soap and water, do no longer soak it. continually attempt your cleansing soap first on a niche out of sight. A harsh cleansing soap will get rid of the colour. you should use a leather-based conditioner as quickly as a year. do no longer use mink oils, or fixtures polishes on or close to the leathers. it will make the leather-based sticky. in the adventure that your products are organic aniline, you could't use cleansing soap, only water. in case you're uncertain what style of leather-based you have, verify with the keep the place to procure. maximum in all risk that is semi-aniline.

You can buy a cleaner specially formulated to clean leather which will cost you between $25-$40 but I use Soft Scrub. Just make sure that you do not use too much and wipe it clean with a damp cloth (do not over saturate).
